I thought I'd open this because it might interest members. Project Hail Mary is a novel by Andy Weir, author of The Martian and is hard-ish sf (though a critical element has a TRL of 0 or less). Filming has wrapped on an adaptation starring Ryan Gosling that is slated for release on March 20, 2026. A trailer has been shown at a convention a couple of days ago. Audiences responses are that it's the best thing since fried Elvis.
Like The Martian, it's old-fashioned 'competence porn' in which the protagonists is given a series of technical problems and must devise a technical solution. (It owes a lot to Stephen Baxter's Moonseed and the Xeelee sequence IMO.)
Spoilers shouldn't be an issue as the book's been out for a few years now.
